Does this mean Alio as the LWB and Dallas the #10?

I hope its Ali in cm not Dallas.

Ali has a goal and a bit of creativity in him, Dallas doesnt and is crap at cm and Dallas as a 10 is a contradiction in terms.

Actually think Ali would do fine in cm.

I suspect Raphinha at 10 and Ali out left.

I think Alioski has to be at LB. If he were playing on the wing, he'd have picked Costa first. Could mean 3 CB's with Alioski and Dallas out wide or could mean Dallas in a 3 man midfield

I hope you're right Ian - it might be a revelation or a disaster, but it would certainly be interesting and I don't fancy either Alioski or Stuart there.

Marcelo could always reshuffle using Rodders if need be.

I hope we get to see Rodders, Poveda and Raph in a 3 behind Paddy.

If Alioski is up against Bellerin at LB that might work, he can definitely wind up that bell end into a costly mistake or two.

I definitely think that's what we're aiming for. Get a player of De Paul's quality into that setup and we'll be a whole different machine.
